Frenetic

We have tried to contact them about the data as well through various channels, or personal connections our people have with UBNT, but no success.

Ah, well, in that case....shame on them.  😆

Truly, I understand the competitive case.  When it doesn't work, the loser is the customer (Frenetic) and the end user (Frenetic's subscribers).  Hopefully both companies will benefit from some collaboration.  Meanwhile...I'll keep asking questions.  😁

Hi Andrea, we need the SNR requirements for EVERY channel width and MCS rate the radio supports. We did not find this data on UBNT webpage, nor in the datasheets of their CPEs.

Bit naughty, Tom,  Not finding the information on a webpage or a datasheet isn't quite the same as another manufacturer not cooperating with RFE.  😆

Hope you can ultimately collaborate.  Frenetic deliver to digitally deprived subscribers.  It's hard going but rewarding...not in the obvious financial sense.  Having quality manufacturers delivering better outcomes together is a win, win, win so far as I am concerned.  👍

Hello Tom! Thanks for your reply.

What do you need?  Here you can find .ant files for antenna pattern.

Great response!!    Given the direction Ubiquiti are taking with UNMS, UCRM, UPG etc, plus the equipment being released, I'm really excited to see Ubiquiti sharing data about antennas.  Ubiquiti antennas have served Frenetic well.  If another manufacturer produces an antenna that helps sell more Ubiquiti 'active' product....embrace them!!

Hello, see the screenshot for the correct calculator setup for the link you talk about. UltraHorn would get you to MCS 7 at best given the distance. In this  case we'd recommend UltraDish 550 for both sides of the link. In this case you can go up to MCS 9. 

Thank you for your time and response, Tom.  I'll compare the 34dBi slant dishes with the RFE dishes.  I have another couple of links that are shorter and would probably suit the Ultrahorn better.  Still keen to try.

Hello, unfortunately Ubiquiti does not cooperate with us, so we were not able to get the data needed to add the Powerbeam and other UBNT CPEs to our calculator. For these cases we recommend selecting generic 802.11ac option from the CPE dropdown menu.

 

Silly, really.  Under Satya Nadella, Microsoft has become a $1T company because they choose to work with others. Steve Ballmer never would, which is why their share price, under his leadership, was the lowest it ever got in the last couple of decades.

Looking good, guys!!  I do have a question that I will detail as a use case scenario.  I have a 26.5km link.  I have Ubiquiti AF5xHD radios at each end.  Currently, I plan to deploy Ubiquiti 34dBi dishes.  I have the Ubiquiti results from airLink, they look pretty good.  How would I find the equivalent results for Ultrahorn 5-24 antennas.  I have completed the calculator fields but I'm not confident of the results in my case.

I'm keen to explore RF Elements products in more depth, currently all our equipment is Ubiquiti.  Frenetic won't be changing the radios but passive equipment that can make a positive difference is definitely on the table.

TIA for any feedback.  😀
